A HEAVY rainfall of frogs took place five miles from Mexico Mo. on Wednesday night of last week. The largest fall was on the farm of Philip ..hearer, who estimates the number that he saw at 8,000 or 10,000. The frogs were of all sizes and alive.

A LITTLE boomlet has started for W. D. Bynum, of this district, for the Vice Presidential nomination with either Cleveland or Gorman for first place. Wait until Uncle Isaac Gray empties a tank o^ ice water on the little boomlet and the Grayites hit it with a few chucks of ice it will die suddenly but surely.

THE Indianapolis Journal has been showing up the late Demoeratice tax law in great shape. It gives the amounts paid in by the Counties this year in excess of last year and the amounts are enormous. The Sentinel goes back on the May settlement, claiming that it does not amount to much, as it is only guess work any how.

THE endowment orders which comes around promising to give a man $100, in two or three years for every $25, or $50 put in by him is a fraud on its face. These men can not pay officers and solicitors big salaries and commissions and double the money on nothing. The men who go into them are simply duped and will lose their good shekels.

THE man or the woman who pursues an evil course and then walks the street with a contented air and assumes that no one knows of the evil doing, is sadly mistaken. The chances are that nine out of ten people you meet know all about it but of course do not speak to the guilty party on the subject. Be sure your sin will find you out. Retribution may be slow but it is always certain.

THE reported fusion of the Democratic and the Peoples Parties in Kansas was no go. It was overwhelminingly voted down by the Conventions of both parties. The fusion business generally results similarly to the fusion of the cow and the haystack. Where the fusion is complete there is very little haystack. In fusions one or the other of the parties is generally swallowed completely and never reappears.

THE Democrats have a choice line of rainbow candidates for President, including Boies, Palmer, Fuller, Morrison, Gray,Campbell, Brice, Pattison and Russell. These men are all second-hand Republicans, except Fuller and Morrison. It seems a little funny the Democrats do not take some man who was raised a Democrat brought up as it were on Jeffersonian and Jacksoniau principles.

the most benighted sections of Demo cratic Missouri, where negroes are still sold on the auction block as vagrants, the majorities in favor of free trade are tremendous. As might be expected, the free trade idea of labor is the popular one in such localities. Yet some people are trj ing to persuade the negroes to vote tbe Democratic ticket and also trying to induce laboring men to vote for free trade.

IT IS estimated that the total appropriations by the first session ol the Fiftysecond Congress will foot up $532,804,679. 81. The total appropriatious of the first session of the Fifty-first (or "billion dollar") Congress were $463,398,510.79, and this included a pension deficiency of $25,321,901.35, left it by th6 previous Demo ratic Congress. The second session of the "Billion.Dollar" Congress appropriated $525,018,672 55. Therefore the first session of this Congress will exceed the first session of the last Congress by $69,406,169.02, and the second session the last Congress by $7,786,007.26. These are the figures of Mr. Beltzhoover, a Democratic Congressman from Pennsylvania and verified by Mr. Holman. TheJDemocrats have Dot bean saying much about a Billion Dollar Congress recently.

THE GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN, THURSDAY, MAY 26,

LOUD SALISBURY, Englands prime minister in a speech at Hastings, England May 18th confessed that the British free trade idea was a failure. He said:

I shall expect to be excommunicated for propounding such a doctrine, but I am bound to say that I think the free-tya-ders have gone too far.

Englands commercial and manufacturing supremacy is on the decline. Other nations are out stripping her, notably the Uuited States with her tremendous resources, magnificent markets and her doctrines of Protection and Reciprocity.

Salisbury says: An important point is that while n&tions are negotiating to obtain each other's commercial favor, ncne is anxious about the favor of Great Britain, because Great Britain has stripped herself of the armor and weapons with which the battle is to be fought.

The armor and weapons which enter into the struggle of nations,for Commercial supremacy are Protection and Reciprocity.

W° are extending oar trade and building up great markets for home products by our doctrines of Protection and Reciprocity. Lord Salisbury said:

While it may be noble not to impose duties upon the products of other countries in order to make reciprocal trade arrangements it is not business.

America with her Protection and Reciprocity has the business methods and the peculiar but satisfactory habit of getting there. What will the Democratic party do now? England, her best friend is going back on the free-trade idea and it would be tenfold more desirable for her, a little pent up island, than for America with her inexhaustable resources. Young men stand by the American ideas of Protection, Reciprocity, Progress and Prosperity.

MR. GEORGE W. PARKER has told a number of people in this county, that the present large increase in the State taxes, made by the Democratic Legislature, will pay the State debt in two years. That is a grand mistake. The six per cent increase of the State levy goes direct to the benevolent institutions and, the increase on the enlarged valuation will have to be applied on the amount the State has been running in i.ebt each year. The amount left over after paying the regular State expenses, for the running of the benevolent iustitut ons, thejdeficit and the interest on the State debt will be about $80,000. A the State debt is nearly $10,000,000 it can readily be seen that it will not be paid in two years. It would take about seventy five years instead of two. The Democrats have indeed got the State finances in a very bad shape.

THE Republicans idea of building up a business or a character is to build it up of new material entirely and not undertake to wreck the business or character of some other man in order to secure ruins for a foundation:. Too many men desire ruins upon which to build but their foundations is not secui and tbe appearanec of their business or character is not pleasing to behold.. The Republicans business is built upon another plan. We have wished and done no man ill. By using the means given us and striving to advance the best interests of all whom we came in contact, the foundation has been laid broad and sure and the superstructure is rising grandly. We are glad to say the Republican has to-day more kind and substantial friends than ever before in her history and we are under obligations to many of them every day. This issue is the first on the fifth year of the present management.

THE Cleveland boom keeps up, notwithstanding the fact that the New York Sun, Cincinnati Enquirer, Atlanta Constitution, Augusta Chronicle, Louisville Courier-Journal, Chicago Times and the Chicago Herald, the leading and ablest Democratic papers in the United States are opposed him. These papers have shown very conclusively that Cleveland cannot be elected if nominated and if such be the result, they will hang their harps upon the willows, sing no more and refuse to be comforted, except a big fat office comes their way and there is hardly enough to go a round. Cleveland may be nominated but his defeat is certain.

What's Doing I:.

A lot of Democrats were quarreling in harmony: "Shut up" growled an old wheel-horse. "What's the matter with the party is, there are two many "ites" in it." "Ites?" queried the crowd, "what are ites?" "That's it you dont know what's the matter with you," he chuckled. "It's tbe Clevelandites, and the Hillites, and the Gormanites, and Palmerites, and the Grayites and the Boiseites, and the gang of tiiem that is doing the harm."'

COMMITTING HAKA-KIitf.

The Democratic Fiu-ty l.ihclj' to lie l)oiie to Death by Its House of Ileprescn till Ives New York Tribune.

The record of this Congress is not yet complete, but it has gone far enough, in the judgment of the most sagacious Democrats, to render their defeat extremely probable. The first act of the Democratic majority in the House,the .defeat of Mr. Milts in the interest of Tammany and its allies, she ok the confidence of thousands of Democrats and Independents in the fidelity of the body to its professions. The refusal to frame a definite tariff bill as an exposition of Democratic purposes showed tbe kind of cunning which is always shortsighted. The selection of points in the tariff for attack was so unwise that the New York Times pronounced it "folly." The reduction of duties on woolen goods below those proposed by the Mills bill according to the declaration of prominent woolen manufacturers who are Democratic members of the House, was peculiarly calculated todepiivethe party of all it had gained in the East. The vote on the silver bill was a double edged blunder, cutting both ways. It damaged the party with sound business men throughout the the country,. because a grea^t majority of

Stock Law In Ham-ooi: Comity. By request of some friends the REPUBLICAN publishes ths stock law of Hancock county which was passed by the Board of Commissioners Juue 111890.

Accord to seccitn 2687 oi the Fev fd Statutes ot Indiana, it is orcUrjd by ti.e Board of Commissioners of Hancock Co. Ind., that tbe head of each family shall have the right to allow one milch cow to run at large on the uuiuclosed land?, public commons or public highways within the bouuds of any township in Hancock couuty. All other orders heretofore made are here vacate !.

The above is the exact text of the stock law. W. P.

the Democrats voted for a particularly reckless and dangerous measure. But it also roused the wrath of the silver fanatics and the more money cranks, because the enormous Democratic majority did not pass the bill. Both ways, the party deserved to suffer it had no business to get votes in 1890 by promising free coinage at all, to make the measure as dangerous as it could be to the currency and credit of the Nation.

Now comes the suicide bill, with an aggregate of appropriations greater than any other Congress has ever made, and with refusal to furnish money for the actual necessities of the public service. Millions for plunder not enough for pensions, for justice cr for the service of the people. From this time, no doubt, vociferous economy will give the people a diet of cheeseparings, because the jobbers have run away with the cheese.

Greenfield Will Have Electric Light A contract has been entered into between the city council and Thomas & Irwin by which we will- have au electric

light plaut as soon, as one can be put in. The contract is for an arc light to run all night at $80 per light. The city has the option of purchasing the plant at any time within five years. Thirty-live lights have been located as follows: on Main street at the intersection of School street Mechanic, Howard's alley, East, New's alley, Wood street on North street, at Noble, Pennsylvania, State, Swope and Pratt Depot and Mechanic street South and Pennsylvania street South and State street: State and Osage, Pennsylvania and Osage Lincoln and Pratt Gran5 and Wood Douglas and Wood: Swope and Lincoln Spring and Grant Lincoln and Bradley Douglas and State Bradley and Walker Sycamore and Pennsylvania Flippo, iNoble and Fifth: on Walnut at School, Comstock's alley, and Howard's alley: 5th street at Rouyer property, Sycamore and Raridan, East and Railroad, Meek and South streets. The li^ktsseem to be well distributed but no doubt there will be some kickers. The city should buy the plant and no doubt will.

W. C. T. U. Meeting:.

The ladies were favored with impromptu speeches by Mrs. Bragg, Mrs. Swope and others. A select wading by oar worthy Vice, Mrs. Ada New. The Union humorist did not neglect her part and in fact tbe members that were not present are to be sympathized with. As we have important business on hand would like all members and members in prospect, to be present, Friday May 27, 2 p. m., at Presbyterian church.

Big Bicycle Kace Here Monday. The Zig-zag Cycling Club of Indianapolis will hold their five mile annual handicap road race on the Pendleton pike May 30, being next Monday alternoon. The finish will be made at the Court House. As the road is in fine condition, fast time is expected. It will be a free show well worth seeing as over 200 wheelmen from Indianapolis will be here. The roads around Greenfield are considered the finest in the state by bicycle men.

For the Soldiers Bovs.

The Albany Telegram, May 28, will be printed on an army blue paper, especially designed for the Decoration Day number alone, and will contain original poems, sketches and stories by leading Grand Army officers and prominent "old Vets" from all parts of the country.

Lost Three Children by Diphtheria. J. H. Fort's little boy Gay, aged seven years, died Monday afternoon from diphtheria, this making the third child lost by him within the last fifteen days all from diphtheria. The above is clipped from the Indianapolis Jourual and refers to the John H. Fort who was janitor at the west school building but moved to Indianapolis several years ago. Many ftiends here sympathize with Mr. and Mrs. Fort in their trouble.
